Curious why her FIRST connection seems to be done through this rather than any of her other endeavors.
Dean has been speaking a lot about how FIRST has to move beyond traditional sources of support in order to reach a wider audience. This certainty seems inline with this idea on paper, though execution seems to miss the mark on tone to some degree.

I'm impressed and incredibly amused that you found so many of Dave's evildoings, though granted, they aren't that hard to search out. - DCA Fan [more]
